The process of formation of the rule-of-the-law state in Russia took place in the period which was called transitional. Such period means transformation in all spheres of society and, first of all, in the juridical sphere. These changes cannot be of universal character, because of national, historic, cultural, and religious traditions in each country. We must keep in mind the special features of the transformations of traditions. The development of the legislative system greatly influenced the development of legal consciousness of the modern Russian society. Legal consciousness means an aggregate of ideas, meanings, and points of views concerning the law. The main purpose of legal consciousness is to develop the just attitudes of people in order to save the unity of the society. Legal consciousness is the most important part of the development of cooperation between countries.
